| Racial controversy erupts over a fake video of FOX news anchor A firestorm erupted earlier in the week after a video purported to show Fox news host John Gibson comparing Obama's nominee to a "Monkey with a Bright Blue Scrotum". {The nominee is black} After a vitriolic demand for his resignation, the Huffington post was forced to issue a retraction: Huffington Post: John Gibson Did Not Compare Eric Holder To Monkey With Bright Blue Scrotum Reporter Loses Job Over Altered Video Of Fox's Gibson

| Kinda surprised that a far left piece of garbage like the Huffington Post would even bother. While they're at it, they should issue retractions on every bit of crap that they put out. TO

| Hope that reporter has a good time looking for work, what a putz. I guess he could probably get a job at the Huffington Post, seems to be just the kind of reporter they would be interested in.

| Like I eluded to before, why let the facts get in the way of a seemingly good inflamatory story?

| Yep, reporting the news these days is more about getting ratings than actually getting the story correct. That is why I pay little attention to the "Traditional" news media anymore.
